Where to get free doughnuts on National Donut Day

Two words: Free donuts! Must be National Donut Day.

National Donut Day was established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army as a way to honor women who served donuts to soldiers during World War I. They were known as the "Doughnut Lassies," and they're often credited with making donuts popular in the U.S.
